This is another one of my favorites that we used to serve as a whole meal with some rice and fried plantains. It is one of the best ways to serve eggplant; with cabbage, carrots, spinach, watercress, & chayotte. I have had it as a meatless dish and also, with crab, or beef & beef bones with marrow. This is a combination of many recipes and in my attempt to get the right amounts to post I may have had to guesstimate a few times. Please forgive me!

Great recipe! My haitian and non-haitian friends who tried it, loved it. In my case, I used goat meat and fresh zipper peas because I don't do beef often and was too lazy to go by lima beans and green beans. Still turned out wonderful! <br/>This dish is Delicious and I look forward to making this more often! :)

Thanks for sharing the recipe. I wanted a refresher and was happy to find it. I would like to comment though that before adding the beef, the vegetables can be squashed with a fork or a pestle handle. This makes for a nicer texture. You can however try to avoid doing it to the carrots and lima beans if you'd prefer.

My boyfriend is a old fashion Haitian man that is uses to his Haitian crusine. When he moved to Texas away from his mother that would spoil him with his Haitian dishes this man became very demanding of me to make his favorite dish Legume. Now myself being a bahamian/haitian raised in American I had no clue on where to being when making Legume, but thankful for this recipe I found here on food.com because it save me and my man's stomach LOL!!! You would think I've been cooking haitian food from birth!
